Shape & Sculpt: Handbuild a Bowl from Clay

Join Remy Studio for a beginner-friendly clay workshop where you'll create your very own hand-built slab bowl. You'll learn the versatile mold draping technique, smoothing a sheet of soft clay over a plaster mold to achieve a beautiful shape. We'll also guide you through forming a stable foot for your piece.

Once your bowl is firm enough to remove from the mold, the real fun begins – decorating! Plaster molds offer a fantastic starting shape, allowing you to personalize your design as much as you wish.

All materials are provided, so just bring yourself and dress comfortably (clay dust can be a bit messy, though it doesn't stain). Your finished bowls will be ready for pickup 3-4 weeks after class at Shop Made in VA.
